From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Wrath is a Smasher from Atlanta, Georgia, considered one of the best Sonic players in North America across two Smash titles.
Wrath began competing in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U playing Sonic, and became known as one of the youngest prodigies in the United States, breaking out onto the scene after defeating Ally at MomoCon 2016 and placing 13th at his first major/supermajor event, CEO 2016. Despite most of his tournament appearances taking place in the Southwest, he was considered one of the best Sonic players in the United States, ranking on several iterations of the PGR. He was especially considered the best Sonic in North America in the game's final year, ranking 29th on the PGR v5 and placing 4th at DreamHack Atlanta 2018 and 7th at MomoCon 2018, in addition to taking out players such as Salem, CaptainZack, and Mr.R at these events. He was ultimately ranked 59th on the PGR 100.
Despite relatively low activity for most of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's early metagame, Wrath was able to establish himself as the best Sonic player in North America after placing 7th at DreamHack Atlanta 2019 and 5th at Frostbite 2020, defeating Tweek at the former and Glutonny at the latter. His national-level activity in the game increased in the post-pandemic metagame, placing top 8 at a multitude of large events including Luminosity Makes BIG Moves 2025, Kagaribi 13, and Riptide 2025; winning the superregional MomoCon 2023; and defeating several of the game's best players at these events, including acola, Miya, and Light. With his long-term success at the highest level of competitive play, Wrath is considered one of the greatest Sonic players of all time, though behind KEN and Sonix. In addition, Wrath is also considered one of the best players in North America's online metagame and frequently ranks amongst the metagame's best players.
Playstyle[edit]
In SSB4, Wrath's play was usually characterized by his patient, defensive style, and he was considered a pioneer of the "defensive Sonic" style. He displayed an adept ability to anticipate his opponent's options while forming counters to their actions, and often went for timeouts at the end of matches. This playstyle is effective, but often criticized from an entertainment standpoint, particularly by commentators.
In Ultimate, Wrath maintains a similar playstyle despite relying less on defensive play, and straying more towards a bait-and-punish playstyle, partly due to Sonic's changes from SSB4 to Ultimate. He utilizes Sonic's extremely fast running speed to run away and force approaches from his opponent, as well as still going for timeouts. To make up for the fact that Spin Dash can't be shield canceled anymore, Wrath also makes advantage of Sonic's down air to cancel his Spin Dashes or Spin Charges for mindgames or to fake out approaches.
